Rep. Marcia Fudge: The CBC Needs More Support From African Americans

Rep. Marcia Fudge (pictured) believes that African Americans should hold President Barack Obama accountable in office and support the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) in ensuring that issues affecting African Americans in this country are adequately addressed. In a panel discussion on “NewsOne Now,” Rep. Fudge explains why the CBC needs more people to stand behind the organization.

“We are as vocal as we need to be,” said Fudge, “but no one wants to take our side because they think we are hurting our President. We support this President more than anyone supports this President. They have to stop pinning us against each other and let us do our job, and let him do his. But we have to put pressure on the White House to make sure that are constituents are represented.
